[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, asserted that "the application of the quarantine pass to pregnant women should be withdrawn."

On the 19th, Yoon stated on Facebook, "A mother's heart thinks of her child, unable to even properly take a cold medicine pill for fear that the fetus's health might be affected." He added, "Not only the mother but the entire family of the pregnant woman worries anxiously throughout the 10-month pregnancy period."

Yoon emphasized, "The quarantine authorities are rather recommending vaccination for pregnant women, and the government is applying the quarantine pass uniformly with almost no exceptions," and requested the government "not to discriminate against or disadvantage pregnant women simply because they have not been vaccinated."

He further said, "Due to ultra-low birth rates, the future of the nation is bleak," and added, "It is the proper role of the state to embrace and understand even the small concerns of our people who wish to have children and build happy families."
